Take Risk!: The Amazing Story of the People Who Made Possible Richard Noble¿s Extreme Projects on Land, at Sea and in the Air - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Richard Noble's first attempt to build a record car, Thrust1, ended in a high-speed crash and the sale of the wreckage to a scrapyard. Next came the roller coaster ride of Thrust2, which was developed to attack the World Land Speed Record at Bonneville with Noble at its controls; after innumerable setbacks, including sponsor withdrawals, delays and a rebuild after a 250 mph crash, success was finally achieved with a new record of 633 mph in 1983 at Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Following that, Noble established the UK-based ARV Aircraft company to create an innovative and beautiful metal airplane with safe forward-swept wings and a special Hewland engine, all achieved in 13 months from start-up with no design and little money.

In the mid-1980s Dixon joined Murray Evans Associates, to work on motorcycle PR, becoming a spokesman for the industry and forming the All Party Parliamentary Motorcycle Group and the Theft Action Group. David is still an active member of the motorcycle fraternity and enjoys writing, painting, music, bird-watching and outings on his 1950 500T Norton.

Hardback. Etat : New. This is a very different book from the traditional speed-merchant genre. Richard Noble has had the ambition all his adult life to see Britain excel in engineering on the world stage and throw off the country's dismal culture of safety first and risk aversion. His achievements in the highly insecure world of record-breaking emphatically demonstrate his commitment to his cause: he brought the Land Speed Record back to Britain in 1983 when he drove his Thrust 2 car to 633mph and 14 years later he led the ThrustSSC team to achieve the first supersonic record at 763mph with Andy Green driving. In his book Take Risk! he tells the extraordinary stories of his 11 projects in record-breaking and aviation that all saw people and companies go out of their way to join him in his exciting endeavours - and take risk.
